01 · In a sentence

Borgo Casa al Vento in Gaiole in Chianti, open JuneSeptember.

Borgo Casa al Vento sits at 500 meters elevation in the heart of Chianti's rolling hills, where cypress-lined vineyards stretch across the Tuscan landscape in every direction.

This restored rural village compound overlooks the Val d'Orcia with stone farmhouses and terraced gardens that anchor the property to centuries of regional heritage.

The location offers unobstructed views of undulating countryside and the ability to host ceremonies among working vineyards and olive groves.

I had a lovely stay at Borgo Casa al Vento. Gabrielle, Francesco, and Francesca were incredibly kind and welcoming, making me feel at home from the start. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the surroundings are truly beautiful — peaceful and full of charm. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the Tuscan countryside. I’d happily return.
